GetSurface not working?
BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/GetSurface not working?

The GetSurface command (and the GetEntityBrush command) seems to always return a Null value. Is there any other way to get access to a mesh's surfaces? I'm using Klepto's extended version, btw. Here's some sample code. In the debugger, the value for s is Null! Am I missing something? Graphics3D 1024, 768, 32, 2 c:TMesh = CreateCube () s:TSurface = GetSurface( c, 0 ) DebugStop While Not KeyDown ( KEY_ESCAPE ) Flip () Wend |

Okay, found out that if I call this instead, it works! s:TSurface = c.GetSurface(1) <--Note it uses index starting with 1 I guess I'll start calling the oo versions. I like that methodology better, anyway. :) |

s:TSurface = GetSurface( c, 1 ) works too, it is the 1 parameter that matters I think. I don't understand why though, isn't a cube supposed to have 6 surfaces, as I'm not able to get any other surface then 1. [EDIT] Nevermind I got it now, of course a cube just has one surface. Also this explains why the parameter should be 1 (from the blitz3d manual): "Index should be in the range 1...CountSurfaces( mesh ), inclusive". |

When I tried that, it didn't work and still returns a Null value. Weird. |
